The primogenitors imdiately turned to the Manananggal, wanting to see his reaction over his champion's early exit.
He was literally blasted into oblivion before he could even use the trump card prepared for him by Manananggal.
Seeing that Manananggal was trying very hard to keep his calm, Thor and J?rmungandr couldn't help but break the silence by a mocking snicker.
"Champion my ass." Thor sneered, "He lasted even less than that random winter wolf."
There was no way Thor wasn't going to rub salt in Manananggal's wound in front of everyone.
"Give him a break." J?rmungandr smiled, "At least, his champion defeated that orc."
"Yes, yes, we should thank him actually." Thor nodded with a pleased expression, "He just handed our cutie a free elimination."
Erebus and the others couldn't help but sympathize with Manananggal after seeing that Felix had gotten three eliminations added above his head.
Eliminations were transferable after all.
That's why Felix didn't need to rush himself and attempt to kill steal the Destroyer.
All he needed to do was wait until Bloodcoral lowered his guard and harvest everything at once.
"Feeling proud? Huh, your champion used Lord Khaos' abilities in the ambush." Wendigo decided to back Manananggal after such an embarrassing display.
He had been told by Manananggal that his champion was given a rare scroll that was capable of killing Felix by a horrific ntal attack.
Alas, he couldn't even use it.
Most likely, even if he used it, Felix would be just fine...After all, his ntal defenses had been boosted to a unfathomable degree.
The Darkin faction had no idea about his visit to the Loftus Dust kingdom or his void abilities.
If they did, they would have strategized another plan against Felix or at least warned their champions about it.
But now? They could only try to salvage what's left of Manananggal's face.
"It's actually quite humiliating." Saurous added to the fire, "Your champion has used Lord Khaos' abilities more often than yours even though he has two limited manipulations. If I were you, I wouldn't have the face to brag about it."
What he said did make so sense...If Felix killed Bloodcoral by using poison or lightning, then his two masters had the right to brag about it.
However, when he used void abilities, only Lord Khaos could claim credit over this.
Unfortunately for the Darkin Faction, Thor had absolutely no sha whatsoever while Lady Sphinx and J?rmungandr were more practical.
"Cry a river."
"A kill is a kill."
"Just be ready to cough out your treasures at the end of the ga."
They comntated at the sa ti, not giving a crap about his low-cost insults.
"F*cking shaless pricks." Saurous cursed under his breath.
'That's enough, we are just embarrassing ourselves more.' Manananggal spoke with Saurous telepathically, 'The only way we can redeem ourselves is by having your champion win this ga.'
'Don't worry about that.' Saurous smiled faintly, 'She can sense the distortion in space instantly...The mont that little sh*t tries to ambush her by his void blink, he will get himself killed.'
Felix's blink might appear like an instantaneous teleportation, but in fact it left a few markings that could be used as a giveaway.
The mont he blinks, space get disoriented in his exit to prepare for his arrival...If Bloodcoral's senses were heightened to the limit, he would have noticed the disorientation and evaded before Felix appeared.
Too bad, Felix had chosen the perfect mont to ambush...It was known fact that almost everyone lower their guards the minute they won a hard fight.
After all, fights required utmost concentration and attention...So, when it ends, it's expected to lose such peak concentration.
Anyhow, Sunny was different.
Heightened senses or not, she was a gravity elentalist...She was more sensitive to anything related to space, dinsions, and even ti.
'I hope he blinks near her.' Saurous smiled coldly as he eyed Felix chilling above a tree branch, 'He will be delivering himself straight inside her gravity domain.'
'Let's hope it goes that way.' Wendigo frowned, 'We can't afford to lose two gas against those buffoons.'
...
After Felix's successful ambush, he decided to lie low for now...He had five eliminations and that ensured his entry to the fifth round in the second phase.
However, it didn't an that he wouldn't be looking for free targets in the forest.
'Sunny and Exodial have been placed in the desert region.' Felix wished, 'It will be best if they fought against each other before we et in the lake.'
Exodial had been pretty active in the desert...Felix knew this due to the terrorizing explosions occurring periodically.
If he had to guess, most of the players should have been forced to migrate to another region, fearing for their lives.
He was completely right...
"Only Exodial and Sunny are left in the desert region." Sage Marshal gave a forced laugh, "Exodial have really kicked everyone from an entire region."
When the cara was spotted on Exodial and Sunny, one was seen flapping his humongous wings towards the volcanic region, while the other hovered towards the rainy forest.
Unluckily, they didn't cross path as Felix hoped for.
...
Before long, the 2nd round ended and the map began shrinking yet again, forcing the remaining players to edge closer to the center.
As before, the execution round didn't take anyone...In fact, all the remaining players had the corespondent kills to survive it.
Still, only nineteen players remained on the island.
When Sage Marshal highlighted all of them in the screen, so had more eliminations than the others.
Regardless, the lowest elimination score was three and the highest was six.
Surprisingly, it belonged to Phantom Eye.
He had gotten such nurous elimination due to killing one of his own inside the shadow realm!
The shadowborns had no issue killing their own if it served their benefits.
Since this was a battle royal and only one player was going to win it, Phantom Eye decided to act first and get rid of one his brothers.
Erebus was more than happy about it since his descendant was topping the charts in a ga for other primogenitor's champions.
"I am starting to think that my descendants might actually clutch this ga." Erebus chuckled.
"Keep dreaming." Saurous snickered, "He can't even assassinate my champion or Cherufe's champion."
Since the start of the ga, neither Sunny nor Exodial had landed on the ground.
One was flying continuously and the other was immune to gravity, making her levitate freely in the sky.
How could Phantom Eye assassinate either of them when their shadows were cast on the ground?
"He already tried and failed to kill little Felix." Thor added as well, "Trust when I say that he will never succeed again."
"You guys are just being haters." Erebus grinned, "We will see who will erge victorious at the end."
"Oh? What do we have here." Aspidochelone raised his eyebrows in surprise after noticing that Sunny was moving in Felix's direction.
She had just entered the rainy forest, so she was still tens of kiloters away from him. However, she was moving towards his location like she could see him.
Based on her speed, she would reach him in twenty minutes at best if she wasn't interrupted.
Speaking of the devil, the instant Sunny crossed a few kiloters through the forest, she was intercepted by an Exonian!
He was standing above the tip of a tree while donning a dō-maru[1] and carrying a sheeted katana on his belt.
Unlike the Executioner in Felix's previous ga, this Exonian was carrying a real katana...It was an artifact that had three gray futharks engraved on its blade.
An Exonian with his real katana was a whole new level of terror compared to the Executioner!
"Lady Sunny, shall we have a go?" The Exonian bowed his head respectfully.
"Are you certain Mr. Celerity?" Sunny titled her head to the side as she said softly, "Your speed ans nothing to ."
"I know it will be a hard battle." Mr. Celerity eyed Sunny with a serious expression, "That's why I am seeking it...How can I restore my race's lost honor if I hide from the strong and fight the weak?"
"Well said." Sunny smiled faintly, "I hope you won't regret your choice."
"Never!"
